r conditions which make it seldom possible to win it with a profit. So it is with cotton. The conditions under which it becomes available for our markets are not often present in the wild cotton which our travelers discover; nor are they to be immediately supplied. Remember the efforts which the French have made to produce cotton in Algeria, the enormous prizes they offered, the prices at which they bought up all the produce, the care with which fabrics were prepared from these cottons at Rouen and exhibited at the Paris Exhibition, and then note the miserable result after so many years of artificial protection." Let the reader observe these statements — all from English authorities — and ask if the man is not a sheer lunatic who supposes Great Britain will sit still and see the southern ports blockaded, and her supply of cotton cut off for a single month. The Black Republicans of both countries may talk of a cotton supply possible at some future time, in some undiscovered co

iffused under conditions which make it seldom possible to win it with a profit. So it is with cotton.--The conditions under which it becomes available for our markets are not often present in the wild cotton which our travelers discover, nor are they to be immediately supplied. Remember the efforts which the French have made to produce cotton in Aleria, the enormous prizes they offered, the prices at which they bought up all the produce, the care with which fabrics were prepared from these cottons at Rouen and exhibited at the Paris Exhibition, and then note the miserable result after so many years of artificial protection." Who can read such facts as these and believe that Great Britain can or will submit to the Lincoln blockade, or even to a war policy of the North which threatens the source of the Southern supply? The interest of France, though not as great, is still very large, and both these nations will retain their accustomed Southern trade, or "know the reason why."

ion of the nullity of the blockade, while in Paris they write to London that it is the English Government which is taking the lead. The statement so often repeated, that in July last the French Government proposed a recognition to the English Government, continues to circulate uncontradicted, and yet it would be important to know what foundation there is for such a report. It would be difficult to say upon what fact or facts the irritation against us al Paris is cased. The commerce at Rouen and at Lyons is arrested, and a hundred thousand workpeople at least are now living on contributions from the Government and from private individuals; but to provoke a war with the people of the United States, or even the ill-will of its people, would not be a remedy, since we suppose that in such a contingency there would be a total prohibition of trade with France, and that while gaining the trade of eight millions of people, they would lose the trade of twenty millions--facts which the pu

Distress among the English and French operatives. --The distress among the operatives out of employment in the British manufacturing districts continues to increase; and we scarcely take up a Manchester or Liverpool or Glasgow journal that does not contain details of the most distressing description. The poor houses have daily additions to their inmates, and pauperism is rapidly on the increase. As in England and Scotland, so in France. In Rouen, of the 50,000 persons who live by spinning, weaving, and dyeing, two thirds can find nothing to do, and of these two thirds nearly all are working on half of quarter time. The Government is doing much to alleviate the want and suffering resulting from this state of things, which journals unfriendly to the North are in the habit of representing as he consequence of out one cause — the blockade of the rebel ports by the Federal Government. This allegation is no doubt true inspire; but the fairer way of putting it would be to say, it

Districts of France. We extract the following from the bee correspondence (Feb. 7.) of the New York Herald: At Rouen and Lyons, cities which, will the last few days, I have had the opportunity of visiting the distress among the Couriers ien conveyed to the concerns of, both these cities, and even mean anticipated to prevent any infractions of the peace. At Rouen I was an eye witness too much of the distress the want of work is occasioning. Men, Women, and children was in the streef the sous-prefets informed me called for speedy intention, if evil consequences were to averted. All I have said of Rouen applies in or degree to Lyons. There the greatest number of manufacturers and more considerable wealth have enabled emp was sent to deal on relief wherever it was positively required. At this moment more than half the working population of Rouen and Lyons are supported entirely from the imperial exchequer. Under these circumstances I look upon as certain that,

ood and innocent, And love the living. They are cheerful creatures-- And quiet as the sunbeams — and most like, In grace, and patient love, and spotless beauty, The new-born of mankind. To proceed at once to illustration, here are two instances of "intuition," both brief and true. The first is supplied by a gentleman well known in French literary circles, whom it induced to bestow much attention on that and kindred subjects. In 1845 he was visiting a lady of his acquaintance at Rouen. They were engaged in earnest conversation on the subject of the future prospects of the lady's children, the youngest of whom — a girl of eighteen--sat working beside them. Suddenly the latter started from her seat with a loud shriek, and threw herself into her mother's arms. On being questioned as to the cause of her agitation, she pointed to a sofa, and, weeping bitterly, declared she had seen descend upon it the figure of her elder sister, Rosalie, then on a visit to some relations at

wards the weaker party, and witness, in the heroic fights of the Southern army, a people struggling bravely, and with marvellous endurance, against an enemy whose resources, domestic and foreign, are almost unlimited. The French people, from all that one can observe, desire to witness the end of this bloody struggle quite as much as do all right-thinking men in England. Personal and material interests, however, have less to do with that feeling than formerly. The cotton trade of Havre and Rouen has gradually righted itself, at least to a certain extent. As in England, other supplies have been landed at Havre, and trade has gradually recovered. The exportation trade generally, from France to America, has not, strange to say, fallen off. The wealthy in the Northern States buy largely from France. The alarm once felt in this country about the American war has greatly diminished. But the desire for peace is not less universal. Humanitarian as well as material interests associate
